Amy Boyd-Comedian

In a nutshell, Amy entered the world telling jokes and has been on a roll from there. While still just a teen, friends encouraged her onto an open mic stage in San Diego, and she never stopped. Amy worked at her stand-up, performing at comedy clubs, festivals, and colleges all over southern California.
She made her mark with her very physical comedic style. In 1991, she was invited to San Francisco to participate in a ground-breaking out comedy video. Amy was a writer/performer in the then-unprecedented "Out for Laughs" and became a regular performer at the legendary Josie's Cabaret in San Francisco. She started touring and became a popular favorite in clubs, colleges and pride events from California to Provincetown. Amy competed in the mainstream national "Ladies of Laughter Comedy Competition" where she won first place and a lovely plaque. Amy was a co-founder of the celebrated sketch comedy trio "This Side of Butch", performing throughout northern California. The group was also responsible for several film festival short videos, including the international hit, "A Religious Experience"
